ontarioquebec division of tha cwjta t wesaylttoo r ave were somewhat surprtaed topick up our copy of the acton free press last week and read a scathing denunciation of the news item we had carried the previous week on two motions received by north halton high school board from esquesing council surprised be cause the actoti paper took us to task for poor reporting and that gets up our fighting blood especially when we are always careful not to follow the daily paper policy of editorializ ing in the news columns it was our intention at first to ignore the blast but realizing that there are many read ers in esquesing who could be misled by the editorial we decided it merited repeating with comments here is the gist of the acton edi torial titled lets be fair we cannot agree with the statement of the georgetown herald that decision of els- quesing council to oppose any high school building program at the present time has com pletely tied the hands of the north halton high school board this article is being written on monday while a nieetinr is sched uled to be held in stewarttown on wednesday with school board and 1 ownship representa tives which will in all probability be reported in the news columns of this issue but we do feel the facts should be put clearly to the pub lic in the first place the motions passed by esquesing council did not oppose any high school building program they clearly stated that esquesing would consider a modified program and they did suggest building a school at acton we frankly admit we are disap pointed with the decision not to accept the whoe program but we must be fair and view and comment on the news as it happens and not on our wishes we quoted the motions of esquesing council in our last weeks issue of the free press and not an interpretation of them over five years ago when flalton coun ty adopted a plan of county equalization we hoped it would do an equalization job in a reasonable time without expensive court costs there is evidence on every side the job hasnt been done very satisfactorily to date esquesing and we believe nassagawcya too have justification in not being in accord with the assessment on the amount they are called upon to pay into the high school dis trict true the amount has been set by the municipal board for a five year period its just possible that the townships will refuse a building program until the legal term of ass essment figures has elapsed its regrettable for the sake of secondary education in north halton if such is the case we are hopeful a compromise can be made the onus for the delay cannot all be placed on the townships georgetown has benefitted greatly and would in the build ing program from the ruling of the munici pal board five year settlement that town sought in every way to raise such a ruling and in so doing georgetown must shoulder most its fishifi time that particular disease called may mad ness will be bustin out all over tomorrow as ontarios speckled trout seaiorrgets under way on may i st a good share of a calculated 150000 anglers will be found right here in halton to commence fishing one of ontarios most prized game fish with regard to opening day prospects of the responsibility for delay of the building program in that attitude of that town lies the whole crux of the situation it is rather inter esting to note that both acton and milton can find agreement with the townships on the sharing of costs we do not want to rehearae events in the north halton district high school over the past five years our files are bulging and most of the evidence points to a very unco operative tendency on the part of georgetown since the formation of the district that town was tha last one to join the district and the first to grasp the opportunity for a new school in georgetown we firmly believe if more understanding were shown in the attitude of georgetown and a willingness to contribute equally as well as receive the situation can be clarified we dont like the attitude how ever of placing the blame on the townships by the newspaper of a town which hampered the program so much in north halton it is to be hoped georgetown will show more coop eration with the townships and the plan of the district board can receive endorsation now for our comment and wc say it too lets be fair the free press says the motions did not oppose any high school building program at the present time esquesings resolution reads the council of esquesing is not in favour of any building program whatever until such time oa the various municipalities in north halton are paying on their actual equalized assessments ruthcr than on an arbitrary fig ure we then went on to repeat the second part of the motion concerning the suggestion to build one high school in acton at a figure whereby the government subsidy would apply to the whole cost we are frankly puzzled at what the ac ton writer is chiding us for and we resent the inference that in the news columns we were unduly colouring the story tlie question of georgetown being a snakeinthegrass and holding up school build ing is one which has good arguments on both side there are facts presented by k c lind say at a meeting of the school board and town ship councils last week which would seem to bear out the story that the two townships have been unfairly dealt with to the credit of georgetown and acton there is the argu ment on the other side that the municipal board- an impartial body made a ruling which they believed fair and just at the present time we do not intend to get into the argument as a school board member we cannot take sides with one coun cil or the other and as a school board mem ber the acton editor is also in a delicate posi tion it would appear that acton may be get ting overenthusiastic with visions of a brand new school for which georgetown will be paying over n fifth of the cost and forgetting that as a school district students in all three schools should
